2020 Map of Big Owl Creek

About this map

Hurdy Flat serves as a central point in this mountainous section of the Boise National Forest, where the transition from pioneer-era travel to modern recreation is evident. The landscape is defined by the high divides of Skyline Ridge and West Willow Ridge, with several historic passage points like Gold Fork Summit and Hungarian Summit marking the difficult terrain. The Idaho City-Stanley highway now follows a corridor once navigated by the Wagon Rd and Kempner Rd, reflecting the long history of travel through these Idaho highlands.
